Installation Solaris 10 with JumpStart (ssh)

Hello,
I want to install Solaris 10 with a server JumpStart.
But i want only actived the ssh mod (for security).
How do you write that in the jumpstart script ?
What is the command line ?
Anybody can help me, please ?
Thank you :)

I have seen this too over the years and it ultimately comes down to something innate:
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Try and use interface ce0.
2. Check default route on both jumpstart server and client.
3. The arp cache may need to be flushed on the Jumpstart server.
4. Use snoop and see what happens during the actual RARPing phase between the server and host.
5. Switch the order in the sysid config file as indicated below:
system_locale=en_US
name_service=none
network_interface=ce2
{hostname=donau1 ip_address=10.50.57.24 netmask=255.255.252.0 protocol_ipv6=no default_route=10.50.56.1}

Problem with Jumpstart install

Hi,
I'm having a serious problem installing an x86 Solaris 10 with Jumpstart. I have a server with the profiles and rules, everything is ok I think. The server has a DCHP service running, and I start the target machine from the net. When switched on, it connects to server, get IP address and paramenters, and the Grub menu appears with the correct option to select. I select it and the process begin. First, the language selection page asks for the language, then, the process make the partitions, and start the copy of files (graphic mode). After some hours (the files are the Solaris 10 operative system itself and a flash image from other machine), the file copy process finishes, and, after some other tasks, the machine reboots. And here is where the problem appears.
At booting, I select to boot from the first hard disk drive (where the files have been copied, where the OS resides), and the following message appears: Bad PBR sig. Searching in forums, I have read that message means there is no active partition or it's impossible to find the master boot record.
Booting with a CD, I see there is an active partition, and it is the correct partition. So the problem is that there is no master boot record. Again, searching the net, I read that there are two ways of write a MBR: the command Installboot and the command Installgrub.
I boot from solaris 10 CD and enter the command Installboot, and it says that it's obsolete, so I try with Install grub this way: (note: when booting with Solaris CD, it detects a Solaris installed in /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0, and ask me if I want to mount it in /a, I answer yes because I think that I need to use the information of grub at /boot/grub of the hard disk)
installgrub -m /a/boot/grub/stage1 /a/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
After that, I rebooted the machine and when it starts (from hard disk), the only thing that occurs is that the word GRUB appears.. and nothing else. A flashing cursor at the end of the word GRUB. Nothing to do. The only way to get out of there, is switching off and then on again.
The first time I tried to install, I did the same but without mounting the disk, and with the command installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
Here is the profile at Jumpstart:

Please, need some urgent help to solve this problem. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Paco,
Quizas deberias de tratar de instalar tus file systems, y sincronizarlos durante el jumpstart. In other words, you should try to mirror your drives during jumpstart. I see you are using cylinders instead of MB sizes, and unless there is a particular reason why you're doing it that way, I suggest you mirror like this:
filesys mirror:d10 c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0 /
filesys mirror:d20 c0t0d0s1 c0t1d0s1 /swap
de este modo, una vez el sistema operativo instale, los cambios necesarios al bootenv.rc seran implementados por el sistema operativo.
You should also make sure if you have a live system, that the secondary drive (DRIVE-1) you are trying to boot has been setup with the master boot record:
fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0p0
And make sure your /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc file shows an "alternateboot" property.

Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation always goes into interactive mode desp

While doing the Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation, it is going into interactive mode for netmask.
This is the sysidcfg file configuration being used :
bash-3.00# cat /export/home/iserver/jumpstart/donau1/sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US
name_service=none
network_interface=ce2
{hostname=donau1 netmask=255.255.252.0 ip_address=10.50.57.24 protocol_ipv6=no default_route=10.50.56.1}
security_policy=none
terminal=vt100
timezone="MET"
timeserver=10.50.57.214
nfs4_domain=dynamic
root_password=5YcgZqC0krYjo
bash-3.00#
Here the network interface specified is "ce2" and the netmask is as shown above. Still, we observe the problem all the times.
and I have seen the following messages on the screen
Attempting to configure interface ce3...
Skipped interface ce3
Attempting to configure interface ce2...
Configured interface ce2
ip_arp_done: init failed
ifconfig: setifflags: SIOCSLIFFLAGS: ce2: Cannot assign requested address

after this it is going into interactive mode and prompting for netmask . After providing the netmask, installation goes through successfully.
so please suggest me some solution to avoid it going into interactive mode.

I have seen this too over the years and it ultimately comes down to something innate:
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Try and use interface ce0.
2. Check default route on both jumpstart server and client.
3. The arp cache may need to be flushed on the Jumpstart server.
4. Use snoop and see what happens during the actual RARPing phase between the server and host.

Solaris-10 flashinstall, jumpstart, and smf

I am having problems with jumpstarting flash images on Solaris-10/SPARC. I am not sure whether the problems are related to smf or not but I also do not know how to debug them.
I use a fully automated jumpstart installation with a site.xml and a one-time reboot manifest to install a master client. On this client I run a flar create to create a flash image which I then use to clone the rest of the workstations (SunBlade-100/150, Ultra-5/10). On Solaris-9 this worked without any problems.
On Solaris-10 I see the following problem. The first reboot after the flash installation is fine but when I reboot the machine again, the network does not come up. The machine is invisible from the outside and does not even respond to ping. I then get quite a few errors from smf:
# svcs -x
svc:/network/service:default (layered network services)
State: offline since Fri Feb 11 19:12:13 2005
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: ifconfig(1M)
See: /var/svc/log/network-service:default.log
Impact: 5 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)
svc:/network/ipfilter:default (IP Filter)
State: maintenance since Fri Feb 11 19:12:07 2005
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last died on Killed (9).
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: ipfilter(5)
See: /var/svc/log/network-ipfilter:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
If I log into the machine through the serial console, I see that the ifconfig -auD4 netmask + broadcast + process is hanging which is run in /lib/svc/method/net-svc. But a manual ifconfig claims that the interfaces are properly
configured. During the boot the machine never responds to a ping, so the earlier basic network configuration must already have a problem.
I removed all the finish and post installation scripts and get the same results.
How do I go about debugging something like this?
Regards,
Matthias

This is a followup to my own post. The problems I see are really SMF related and have to do with insufficient dependencies, I believe. If I boot into single-user mode first, the machine comes up immediately and without problems.
From looking at the verbose output during boot, Isaw that on this machine the hostname was set after the domainname. I am not sure why it happened. So to test out my theory, I put a sleep 10 into the identity-domain method and now the machine boots without problem. My guess is that something has a dependence on identity-domain but not on identity-node but needs both.
So the question is again. How does one debug this? Do I need to file a service call with Sun or is somebody from Sun reading this?

Matthias

Dual boot (x86) Solaris 9 with Win Xp/ NT

Hello!
I wanted to have Solaris as well as any other OS. The problem is that according to the mutliboot guide provided by SUN, first I install Win Xp, and then Solaris. But during the installation, Solaris demands the entire disk to be used, while I go for the "default disk layout". I can't figure out how to specify a particular amount of disk space for solaris through FDISK. Maybe, i don;t know the layout to be followed. This is because if I make a solaris partition, it does not install on it....

Well I run WindowsXP and Solaris on the same box.
Cant understand whats the problem with it, so let me just describe the way I did it. (btw installation guid was not so helpful)
So at the point when you have to choose HD to install at, I think question before it was what sort of installation type you want (Default or Custom) Default will just use hole HD, while Custom will ask extra questions, conserning HD, partitions and so on. Just choose the right one, make sure that you devide space for Solaris in a way you need it rather then what just stands there (like more space for OS rather then private space and so on..)
Then finish install and thats it.
Hope it will help.

Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart installing from cd instead of install server

Hi all,
I am building a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart server and was able to jump the client to a certain point. The jump appears to be running but for some reason stops after the first CD ( very peculiar considering the jumpstart is automated). After watching the jump, I discover that the install is using my CD to install rather than from the install server. It is, however, getting the sysidcfg info, rules and profiles from my install server. I booted from CD and then selected Custom Jumpstart to install via the network. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is my add_install_client command:
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -s server1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06 -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg host1 i86pc
Here is the output from that command:

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK

16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart unassisted install

How do you get a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart to actually work?!?! Everytime I try to jump an X4500 it will go into an assisted solaris install. It reads my sysidcfg and the majority of my profile. But I have to sit and manually enter the partition information. I've tried multiple variations of "install dhcp" and "nowin" in the boot options to no avail.

Here is the error output:

Some steps for configuring Network are skipped in installation Solaris 10

Hi everybody !!!
I'm a newbie in Solaris 10. I had some problems in installation Solaris 10:
I downloaded installation packet for x64/x86 (DVD) on site Sun.I want to install Solaris 10 on my PC AMD 2500+.I connect to internet through a LAN.
1)In process installation, some steps for configuring Network ( from 5 to 15 in Solaris 10 installation guide) were skipped automatically. It has been directly moved to 16-th step(setup Time and region). Then i tried to finish installing it. But in working with it, i recognized that Network card had been not found( i use NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter). I typed some command in console shell :
$netstat -in
loo...........
and received only one row like above.
i have tried some times , but not succeeded
2)Port USB is also not working
Please help me. Thanks a lot !!!

hi Vantuan,
guess I just posted reply to your other post...
also check Sun hardware compatibility list for your network card here:

LMS 3.2 Installation - Solaris 10/09 Patch Conflict:

Hello all,
We are running Sun Solaris 10/09,working on installing LMS 3.2.As per documentation,attempted to install the two recommended patches,127127-11 and 122032-05.
The 127127-11 patch is already contained in this OS packaging.The second recommended patch - 122032-05 - does not install since there exists another patch - 141518-11 - that makes the second recommended patch(122032-05) obsolete.
The 141518-11 patch cannot be uninstalled since there is no backout data for it.
What do you recommend I do to solve this issue as I cannot move ahead with the installation as things stand.
Should I use an older release of Solaris 10 that is still downloadable from the Sun Website?If so,can anyone recommend a tried and tested release I can use.
Many thanks,
W.

Hi all,
Just resifted through the documentation and they have stated the supported releases:
"The following Solaris 10 releases are supported in LMS 3.2:
–Solaris 10, 05/09 release
–Solaris 10, 10/08 release
–Solaris 10, 05/08 release
–Solaris 10, 08/07 release
–Solaris 10, 11/06 release"
Will give the installation a shot with 10/08.
Regards,
W.

Installing Solaris 10 with RAID + ZFS ?

Hi, i've recently built a home-made server for racking with a local co-location provider, I've currently got Fedora 9 on it, but would really wish to have Solaris 10 to get ZFS support.
Got a couple of questions before i wreck my fedora 9 install, if anyone would be so kind,
I've dowloaded the Solaris 10 5/08 iso and burned that to dvd ready for install. Now when I do install Solaris will it reformat the drives as default with ZFS support or is this something that has to be done afterwards, also with the x86 install will it be able to boot from ZFS?
Idealy I've got two identical drives on there for RAID 1 so for the entire machine to be using ZFS would be the ideal setup, running in headless with just SSH to connect.
Any thoughts?

If you are running Solaris 10 U5, you can only have mirroring using svm, plus the root file system must be UFS.
However, you can make a slice in a zfs partition an mirror that (I wouldn't recommend using svm to mirror on
top of ZFS).
Opensolaris 2008.05 does zfs boot, and Nevada could do zfs boot since Build72 ( http://sol10frominnerspace.blogspot.com/2007/09/setup-zfs-boot-for-build-72.html ) - though bits and pieces were
not working o rmissing (like swap in a zvol). The big roll in was on Build94 ( http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/91-95/ )
so if you get the latest, your chances of running into any issues are lower.

Dual booting Solaris 10 with Vista

I got Compaq 3702 with Win Vista - It was a pain for 2 months to installl Solaris - Every time I would Install Solaris - Grub will show Windows but on booting gives messages winload.exe missing or corrupt. Then I found out QTParted - system utility ( or gparted ) partitioned 160 GB HDD into 5 partitions.
-Made Solaris as in-active partition
-Activated Vista as active partition ( Vista has bug of not letting others OS to be installed unless it is active boot partition. )
-Using Vista DVD run Vista repair install ( Only MBR )
-Boot to vista Desktop ( Your Grub and Solaris seems lost )
-Download easyBCD 1.7.1

On Sun fire v490 - Solaris 10 with Oracle 8.1.7.4 & Sybase 12.0

Hi,
We are going to upgrade our server with this configuration -
Sun Fire V490     2 x 1.05 GHz UltraSPARC IV CPU
8096MB RAM     2 x73GB local disk
2x FC 2GB Sun/QLogic HBAs
DAT72
On one machine we will have Sun Solaris v10 with
Oracle DB v8.1.7.4 & Second one will be Sun Solaris v10 with Sybase DB v12.0.0.6.
Now our question is - Sun fire have Hyper-thread CPUs �� will the O/S and databases (Oracle and Sybase) view the proposed system as a true 4 CPU platform? Will parameters used to tune the database such as Sybase max online engines still operate in the same manner as before?
Our old machine configuration was - Sun E450     4x400MHz CPU     1024MB RAM     2 x18; 8x36GB disks

Questions on Oracle and Sybase should be directed to a database forum, this forum is for Sun hardware support.
Here is a link to a DB forum I look at from time to time:
http://www.dbforums.com/index.php
The topic of tuning Oracle or Solaris is way beyond the scope of this forum, I have attempted to go into it before but didn't get any feedback and I would only like to spend lots of time on it if I was being paid!!! On the memory side, keep in mind that Oracle 9i 64-bit can address a maximum of 2 ^ 64 ( 16777216 TB ) memory, prior to that the DBA had to define memory parameters in init.ora. To be honest the last time I worked with a Oracle 8 database I shut a HP K class server down permanently that had been migrated to Oracle 9i on Solaris by an Oracle consultant and I can't remember all the tuning trick etc.

'''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.

Hi Rangnath,
For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.
